Persona non grata
January 25th, 2009
Chickadees, goldfinches, starlings and woodpeckers were all having a blast at the Hurdman feeders today. Then all the activity stopped all of a sudden. The goldfinches disappeared and the chickadees began a non-stop chorus of "chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee!" Which, in chickadee speak, means "oh sh*t."
Shortly thereafter I spotted a Sharp-Shinned Hawk, a voracious eater of small songbirds, perched right above the feeder.
